4 Netflix Originals To Binge Watch

In This Article:

Sometimes you do not want to binge a TV show on Netflix because they are a big commitment (*Cough Grey's Anatomy *Cough*). Why not watch a movie? Movies are great because you get all the things that a multiple season TV show has in one. Not to mention, movies have great quotes and come in all genres.

Netflix has it's fair share of big name movies from Sherk to A Cinderella Story. But, some people take for granted the smaller Indie movies or even the Netflix original movies which is a big bummer because those can be some of the best movies out there.

Recently, I got bored with binging TV shows and I decided to watch the movies instead. I actually was pleasantly surprised by them. I have been on a movie binge ever since and I have been watching all the Rom Coms that Netflix has.

"The Kissing Booth"

This is one of the movies that everyone has talked about on Twitter. When I finally watched it I was surprised that this movie actually lived up to all the hype. I was surprised when I saw that it was actually a Netflix Original movie. Who doesn't love a cute little romantic comedy every now and then right?

"Ibiza"

I kinda just stumbled on this movie but I do not regret it. It's another Netflix Original Movie and it's about this girl that goes on a business trip with her two friends. But the twist is should she do the responsible thing or should they all go to Ibiza to see the hot DJ again.

"When We First Met"

Another Netflix Original, wow I'm so original at this point. I can not help that Netflix put out a lot of good movies recently. Any way this movie sorta reminded me of a Ground Hog Day type movie because Noah keeps reliving the day him and his best friend over and over.

"XOXO"

I swear this the last Netflix original movie and the only movie in this list that is not a rom com lol. This one I just came across this movie one day and I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was one of those movies that have multiple different small storylines for characters and somehow they all come together. In this movie, its based at an EDM festival called XOXO. When you have an up and coming DJ, his loyal pal, a hopeless romantic, a jaded has been, and a troubled couple all run into each other at this music festival what could go wrong?

Looking back at this list, I guess Netflix has come out with some good original movies surprisingly enough. Clearly, I've been on a Rom-Com binge lately (not sorry) but I can't help myself when you find good ones like these. In any case, what I have learned is that you CAN NOT sleep on the Netflix original movies and Rom-Coms are still my favorite movies.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
